                }else{
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Please select two files to upload.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        });

doFileUpload()

private void doFileUpload(){
       File file1 = new File(selectedPath1);
        File file2 = new File(selectedPath2);
        String urlString = "http://url/api";
        try
        {
            HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost post = new HttpPost(urlString);
            FileBody bin1 = new FileBody(file1);
            FileBody bin2 = new FileBody(file2);
            MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
            reqEntity.addPart("image1", bin1);
            reqEntity.addPart("image2", bin2);
            reqEntity.addPart("section", new StringBody("inventory"));
            reqEntity.addPart("action", new StringBody("new"));
            reqEntity.addPart("apron_id", new StringBody("465464f313164d6464fds64f6d4"));
            reqEntity.addPart("nickname", new StringBody("test"));
            reqEntity.addPart("location", new StringBody(2+""));
            reqEntity.addPart("manufacture", new StringBody(3+""));
            reqEntity.addPart("core_material", new StringBody("test"));
            reqEntity.addPart("color", new StringBody("test"));
            reqEntity.addPart("Date_purchase", new StringBody("25/10/1991"));
            reqEntity.addPart("UID_no", new StringBody("546345643465434554436554"));
            reqEntity.addPart("serial", new StringBody("46544624463464423644634244545"));
            reqEntity.addPart("Batch", new StringBody("464546631313464"));
            reqEntity.addPart("Expiration", new StringBody("25/10/2091"));
            reqEntity.addPart("garment_type", new StringBody("test"));
            reqEntity.addPart("QTY", new StringBody("4"));
            reqEntity.addPart("user_id", new StringBody(2+""));

            post.setEntity(reqEntity);
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
            resEntity = response.getEntity();
            final String response_str = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
            if (resEntity != null) {
                Log.i("RESPONSE",response_str);
                runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
                    public void run() {
                        try {
                            res.setTextColor(Color.GREEN);
                            res.setText("n Response from server : n " + response_str);
                            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Upload Complete. Check the server uploads directory.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        } catch (Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                });
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex){
            Log.e("Debug", "error: " + ex.getMessage(), ex);
        }
    }

App seems to be sent post data but no data received at server below is the php script

<?php
require_once("../includes/DbConfig.php");
require_once("../includes/classes/general.php");
$status  =1;
$response=array();
$data=$_REQUEST;
$action=$data['action'];
$section=$_REQUEST['section'];

file_put_contents("out.txt","\n".implode("\n",$_REQUEST)." \n ".implode("\n",$_FILES)." \n date ".date("Y-d-m H:i:s"),FILE_APPEND);

              if($section=="inventory")
                    {
                        if(empty($action))
                        {
                            $response=array("status"=>0,"data"=>"No action Found");
                            echo json_encode($response);
                            exit;
                        }
                        require_once("classes/class_inventory.php");
                        $inventory = new inventory();
                        switch($action)
                        {
                            case 'new':
                                    $response=$inventory->action_inventory($_REQUEST);
                                    echo json_encode($response);
                                    exit;
                            case 'get':
                                $response=$inventory->get_inventory($_REQUEST);
                                echo json_encode($response);
                                exit;

                        }
                    }else {
                        $response=array("status"=>0,"date"=>" No section Found ");
                        echo json_encode($response);
                        exit;
                    } 

?>

Screen shot of response

enter image description here

`if($section=="inventory")` what is that? That condition is not satisfying please check — W I Z A R D, Apr 25 '15 at 05:05
No this is correct @WIZARD $action=$_REQUEST['action']; $section=$_REQUEST['section']; — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 05:07
i am not saying it is wrong, i am saying that condition is not satisfying it is showing else part result on the screen shot on the question so please check `$selection` contains `inventory` or not — W I Z A R D, Apr 25 '15 at 05:11
Yes that is the problem no $_POST arrives at server so going to else port @WIZARD — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 05:14
just tried this [open](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20146011/upload-image-in-custom-object-using-multipart-form-data-in-android) not working — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 05:18
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/76221/discussion-between-w-i-z-a-r-d-and-manikanta-g). — W I Z A R D, Apr 25 '15 at 05:19
`$response=array("status"=>0,"date"=>" No section inventory found", "section"=>$section);`. Remember? Now what is the value? — greenapps, Apr 25 '15 at 09:12
Whether the request hitting to url.? check it out printing something top your php code.given all internet permission? which version of android your trying? — Anoop M Maddasseri, Apr 25 '15 at 09:46
Have you looked in `out.txt` ? That should tell you what you received. — greenapps, Apr 25 '15 at 10:55
Remove or comment all code from your script. Put only following lines in it `$section=$_REQUEST['section']; echo ( "section: (" . $section . ")\n" ); $section=$_POST['section']; echo ( "section: (" . $section . ")\n" ); if($section=="inventory") echo ("indeed section == inventory\n"); if($section==="inventory") echo ("indeed section === inventory\n");`. Tell the result. — greenapps, Apr 25 '15 at 12:35
ok i'll try this but i think this doesnot make any sense @greenapps — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 12:46
Some body suggested me to use [loopj](http://loopj.com/android-async-http/doc/com/loopj/android/http/package-summary.html) do you have any idea ?? @greenapps — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 12:59
section: (inventory) section: (inventory) indeed section == inventory indeed section === inventory surprising! :D data sent coming now @greenapps but i don't understand mistake — manikanta g, Apr 25 '15 at 13:10

Remove or comment all code from your script. Put only following lines in it

$section=$_REQUEST['section']; 
echo ( "section: (" . $section . ")\n");    
$section=$_POST['section']; 
echo ( "section: (" . $section . ")\n" ); 
if($section=="inventory") 
    echo ("indeed section == inventory\n"); 
if($section==="inventory") 
   echo ("indeed section === inventory\n");

Tell the result.

And please tell what was wrong in your code.
